Best zombie/survival movie ever made

Rating: 10/10 (7 October 2009)

28 Days later is my second favourite film ever made. It's superb in the way that the whole of Britain has been wiped out by a virus which turns people into fast zombies.
Jim (Cillian Murphey) wakes up hospital from a coma to find London completely empty...except for the infected. He eventually finds 2 survivors, Selena (Naomi Harris) and Mark (Noah Huntley). Selena and Mark explain to Jim about what's happened in the last 28 days. The 3 of them journey to Jim's house to discover his parents dead. In my favourite scene from the film, Mark gives a chilling story about what happened to his parents. That scene is well acted by Noah Huntley and it makes it even more shocking when Mark is hacked to death by Selena moments later. We grow attached to all the characters in the film and i thought that Mark would play an even more important part. Jim and Selena then come across a man called Frank (Brendan Gleeson) and his daughter Hannah (Megan Burns). The 4 of them hear a radio transmission from soldiers in Manchester and that makes them journey there in a cab. The 2nd part of the film is really Jim, Frank, Selena and Hannah trying to make there way to Manchester. But sadly Frank gets infected and dies when they finally meet up with the soldiers. The last part of the film i don't really like because it goes down a darker road than the rest of the film. The lead soldier, Major West (Christopher Eccleston) has promised the rest of his soldiers Women and Selena and Hannah are on the verge of being raped. Jim, Selena and Hannah not only have to fight of the infected but also the soldiers.
Overall 28 Days Later is an excellent film and it never gets boring. The sequel was OK but not as good as the original.
